Benefits of technology

[0011]In one embodiment, the invention provides a nasal spray device for intranasal delivery of a lysosomal storage enzyme. For example, the OptiNose liquid delivery nasal spray device and other similar devices that deliver drug to both the olfactory and respiratory epithelium of the nasal cavity, while preventing delivery to the lungs by spraying only when the connection between the nose and lungs is closed, may be employed to deliver a lysosomal storage enzyme. In one embodiment, the nasal spray device is a pressurized olfactory delivery device such as the Impel NeuroPharma device, a metered dose nasal spray device or a unit dose nasal spray device. In one embodiment, the device provides for delivery of the lysosomal storage enzyme high in the nasal cavity so as to reach the olfactory epithelium in addition to the respiratory epithelium, thereby maximizing delivery to the brain.

Problems solved by technology

Further, it was unexpected that the enzyme reached the brain in relatively large amounts.
In one embodiment, delivery is not facilitated or accomplished using iontophoresis.

Intranasal Administration of IDUA Leads to Widespread Distribution in the Brains of Mice

[0076]IDUA− / − mice were anesthetized and treated with either 24 μL of PBS vehicle or laronidase (Aldurazyme) that had been concentrated by centrifugation in an Amicon Centriplus YM-10 column to a final concentration of about 1.5 mg / mL. Prior to concentration, the laronidase was diluted with two parts Elliots B solution (which is comparable in pH, electrolyte composition, glucose content, and osmolarity to cerebrospinal fluid, and includes sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, dextrose, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium phosphate, resulting in sodium 149 mEq / liter, potassium 4.0 mEq / liter, calcium 2.7 mEq / liter, magnesium 2.4 mEq / liter, bicarbonate 22.6 mEq / liter, chloride 132 mEq / liter, sulfate 2.4 mEq / liter, and phosphate 1.5 mEq / liter). The treatments were administered by applying a series of eight 3 μL drops to the nasal cavity of each mouse at one-minute inter...

Testing the Effectiveness of Enzyme Delivery to the CNS

[0078]The effectiveness of enzyme delivery to the CNS is described in the following examples, in which iduronidase enzyme was expressed in all sections of the brain after delivery of adeno-associated virus vector encoding human IDUA.

[0079]An AAV 2 based vector (AAV2-MCI) was constructed to contain the human IDUA (hIDUA) coding sequence under regulation of a strong mini-CAGS promoter (Ohlfest et al., 2005) (FIG. 2A). This vector was packaged at the University of Florida Vector Core using AAV 8 capsid protein, and 2×1010 vector genomes was stereotactically infused into the right lateral ventricle of neonatal (4-6 day old) IDUA-deficient mice, anticipating that this route of administration would provide widespread distribution and vector-mediated hIDUA expression throughout the brain.

[0080]The animals were sacrificed at 10 months of age, and brain tissue was harvested by microdissection and homogenized. IDUA was undetectable in bra...

Abstract

The invention provides a method to prevent, inhibit or treat one or more neurological symptoms associated with a lysosomal storage disease in a mammal in need thereof, which includes intranasally administering to the mammal a composition comprising an effective amount of a lysosomal storage enzyme or a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector comprising an open reading frame encoding a lysosomal storage enzyme. Also provided are compositions and devices useful in the methods.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. application Ser. No. 61 / 484,378, filed on May 10, 2011, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of 11 storage diseases caused by disruptions in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) catabolism, leading to their accumulation in lysosomes (Muenzer, 2004; Munoz-Rojas et al., 2008). Manifestations of varying severity include organomegaly, skeletal dysplasias, cardiac and pulmonary obstruction and neurological deterioration. For MPS I, deficiency of iduronidase (IDUA), severity ranges from mild (Scheie syndrome) to moderate (Hurler-Scheie) to severe (Hurler syndrome), with the latter resulting in neurologic deficiency and death by age 15 (Muenzer, 2004; Munoz-Rojas et al., 2008). Therapies for MPSs have been for the most part palliative. However, there are some of the MPS diseases, including Hurler syndrome, for whi...
